CV Writing tips

Your CV is the first thing a potential employer sees, and therefore must have impact. A poor CV may result in you not getting an interview, even if you are the most qualified for the job. Remember, jobs can have many applicants, and employers do not always read every CV, but glance through them, or use keyword searches to filter out people. If your CV isn’t well written, you risk not getting the opportunity to sell yourself at an interview.

There are hundreds of companies who will offer to write your CV’s for you, at a cost. Some will write up to three different CV’s, allowing you to target different jobs with the right CV, as well as supplying you with a covering letter.

If you have the money, then it can be well worth investing in one of these services, but remember, you need to keep your CV up to date, so you should learn to write a good CV yourself.  Once again, you will find endless sites offering tips and advice on this subject online. If you just want to visit one site, we recommend visiting http://www.alec.co.uk/, which has a comprehensive range of tips and information.

Spend time getting your CV right, it pays to do so.
